In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the OCC, the Board, and the FDIC (the agencies) may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. On March 1, 2017, the agencies, under the auspices of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), requested public comment on a proposal to extend, with revision, the Regulatory Capital Reporting for Institutions Subject to the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework (FFIEC 101). The FFIEC 101 is completed only by banking organizations subject to the advanced approaches risk-based capital rule. Generally, this rule applies to banking organizations with $250 billion or more in total consolidated assets or $10 billion or more in on-balance sheet foreign exposures (advanced approaches banking organizations). The agencies proposed to remove two credit valuation adjustment (CVA) items from the exposure at default (EAD) column on FFIEC 101 Schedule B, Summary Risk-Weighted Asset Information for Banks Approved to Use Advanced Internal Ratings-Based and Advanced Measurement Approaches for Regulatory Capital Purposes (items 31.a and 31.b, column D). The comment period for this proposal expired on May 1, 2017. The agencies did not receive any comments addressing the proposed changes and are now submitting requests to OMB for review and approval of the extension, with revision, of the FFIEC 101.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Joint Comment Request

AGENCY: Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Treasury; 
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board); and Federal 
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

ACTION: Joint notice and request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (PRA) of 1995, the OCC, the Board, and the FDIC (the agencies) may 
not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond 
to, an information collection unless it displays a currently valid 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
    On March 1, 2017, the agencies, under the auspices of the Federal 
Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), requested public 
comment on a proposal to extend, with revision, the Regulatory Capital 
Reporting for Institutions Subject to the Advanced Capital Adequacy 
Framework (FFIEC 101). The FFIEC 101 is completed only by banking 
organizations subject to the advanced approaches risk-based capital 
rule. Generally, this rule applies to banking organizations with $250 
billion or more in total consolidated assets or $10 billion or more in 
on-balance sheet foreign exposures (advanced approaches banking 
organizations).
    The agencies proposed to remove two credit valuation adjustment 
(CVA) items from the exposure at default (EAD) column on FFIEC 101 
Schedule B, Summary Risk-Weighted Asset Information for Banks Approved 
to Use Advanced Internal Ratings-Based and Advanced Measurement 
Approaches for Regulatory Capital Purposes (items 31.a and 31.b, column 
D).
    The comment period for this proposal expired on May 1, 2017. The 
agencies did not receive any comments addressing the proposed changes 
and are now submitting requests to OMB for review and approval of the 
extension, with revision, of the FFIEC 101. These reporting changes 
would take effect as of the September 30, 2017, report date.

General Description of Reports

    Each advanced approaches banking organization is required to file 
quarterly regulatory capital data on the FFIEC 101. The FFIEC 101 
information collection is mandatory for advanced approaches banking 
organizations: 12 U.S.C. 161 (national banks), 12 U.S.C. 324 (state 
member banks), 12 U.S.C. 1844(c) (bank holding companies), 12 U.S.C. 
1467a(b) (savings and loan holding companies), 12 U.S.C. 1817 (insured 
state nonmember commercial and savings banks), 12 U.S.C. 1464 (savings 
associations), and 12 U.S.C. 1844(c), 3106, and 3108 (intermediate 
holding companies).
    The agencies use these data to assess and monitor the levels and 
components of each reporting entity's capital requirements and the 
adequacy of the

[[Page 25657]]

entity's capital under the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework; to 
evaluate the impact of the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework on 
individual reporting entities and on an industry-wide basis and its 
competitive implications; and to supplement on-site examination 
processes. The reporting schedules also assist advanced approaches 
banking organizations in understanding expectations relating to the 
system development necessary for implementation and validation of the 
Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework. Submitted data that are released 
publicly will also provide other interested parties with information 
about advanced approaches banking organizations' regulatory capital.

Current Actions

    On March 1, 2017, the agencies requested comment on proposed 
revisions to the FFIEC 101 reporting requirements.\1\ The proposed 
revisions would remove EAD information related to CVAs that already is 
captured in a separate item on FFIEC 101 Schedule B. Specifically, the 
agencies proposed to remove column D (EAD) for items 31.a, ``Credit 
valuation adjustments--simple approach,'' and 31.b, ``Credit valuation 
adjustments--advanced approach.'' These line items were added to the 
FFIEC 101 report in March of 2014, and were intended to provide data 
pertaining to the CVA requirements under the agencies' regulatory 
capital rules \2\ for over-the-counter (OTC) derivative activities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 82 FR 12274 (March 1, 2017).
    \2\ For national banks and federal savings associations, 12 CFR 
part 3 (OCC); for state member banks and holding companies, 12 CFR 
part 217 (Board); and for state nonmember banks and state savings 
associations, 12 CFR part 324 (FDIC).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The agencies subsequently determined that the EAD information 
reported in column D of items 31.a and 31.b on FFIEC 101 Schedule B is 
already captured in column D of item 10 (OTC derivatives--no cross-
product netting--EAD adjustment method) on FFIEC 101 Schedule B. 
Continuing to collect the same EAD information in both places is not 
only redundant, but also may be misinterpreted by the users of FFIEC 
101 data as additional default risk held by the reporting entity. For 
these reasons, the agencies proposed removing column D for items 31.a 
and 31.b on FFIEC 101 Schedule B. The agencies would continue to 
collect the amount of risk-weighted assets for CVAs in column G of 
items 31.a and 31.b on FFIEC 101 Schedule B.
    The comment period for this proposal expired on May 1, 2017. The 
agencies did not receive any comments on the proposal and are now 
submitting requests to OMB for review and approval of the extension, 
with revision, of the FFIEC 101. While the agencies originally proposed 
making the changes effective as of the June 30, 2017, report date, due 
to the time required for the PRA revision process, the agencies have 
revised the proposal. As revised, the reporting changes would instead 
take effect as of the September 30, 2017, report date. However, as the 
two items being removed are not made public or otherwise shared outside 
the agencies, reporting entities may elect to adopt the changes 
immediately by ceasing to report column D of items 31.a and 31.b on 
FFIEC 101 Schedule B.
